Entertainment starts with variety shows

Chapter 618 Do you want to go international

The opening ceremony in the snow is no different from the ordinary opening ceremony. Fang Jing has participated in this kind of ceremony many times in the past. Most directors will do this for good luck before the opening ceremony.

It is said that some production crews did not worship God in the past, and there have been accidents in the future. Either the actor fell off the horse and broke his leg, or it rained twice in three days, and the camera made mistakes.

In the future, whether it is for auspiciousness or psychological comfort, the directors will pay homage.

The pig's head was offered, incense was burned, the main actors and staff of the whole group held incense and offered three worships, and the director took the lead in saying auspicious words. The whole process was completed in ten minutes.

"I announce that the production team in the snow is starting up today!!!"

After Lu Yang finished speaking, the staff at the side took out a few rolls of firecrackers and lit them, and the crackling was very lively.

"Today's first scene is Hu Ge and Mr. Li Jianyi's scene. Please go to the dressing room to start makeup. The makeup team will start working. The props team and the lighting and camera team will adjust now. Don't let people wait for you."

"Director team, gather the group performances, arrange their positions and lines, and clear the scene!"

Dozens of entertainers came to the scene today, some of them didn't have a role but just came to save face to participate in the opening ceremony, some had a role, but not today.

Those who have a part in the show stay, and those who don't have a part in the show go away.

Finding a chair, Fang Jing sat on the side and watched Hu Ge and the others act, flipping through the filming scene list in his hand, everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

Behind the monitor, the corners of Lu Yang's mouth turned upwards, this is what he wanted.

Fang Jing is now the producer, in charge of everything, arranging actors' schedules, funds, logistics, etc., anyone who wants to play big can go to him.

Want to change your lines?Talk to Fang Jing.The assistant bodyguard wants to live in a big hotel?To talk to Fang Jing?

Can't get up in the morning, the whole group is waiting for you?It's okay, Fang Jing is idle, let him find you.In short, he left all the troublesome things to Fang Jing, and he was responsible for being the director, and he didn't care about other things.

"Hey, Sister Tang, you need to spare a week next week. Your play starts on Wednesday and will continue until the next Wednesday. Okay, I'll wait for you then..."

Looking at the information on the scene list, Fang Jingwei didn't show up today, and then the artists who will be playing will call one by one to talk about the shooting in advance.

On the shooting site, at dusk, the figures of an old man and a young man on the official road were elongated by the afterglow. The old man was carrying a long bag wrapped in rags, with ragged clothes, white hair mixed with a few pieces of thatch, holding a A bony lame horse.

The young one is not young, with stubble all over his face, dressed in hemp clothes from the market, like a refugee fleeing famine.

"Old Huang, hold on for a while. When you enter the city and come home, you will have a big piece of meat and a big bowl of wine. Damn, I didn't think this kind of wine and meat was a rare thing before, but now when I think about it, I get hungry. Every day Dream about it."

The slovenly old man with the appearance of a servant chuckled, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth with missing front teeth, making him look very simple and honest.

The two were Hu Ge and Li Jianyi. After putting on makeup, Li Jianyi looked obscene, Hu Ge's face was covered with stubble, and his hair was messed up. It was impossible to recognize that he was the prince in ancient costume.

The story in the snow is very long, and it is impossible to finish it in one movie, so Fang Jing plans to divide it into four parts, and now he is filming the first part.

I was busy until the evening, and I filmed two scenes in less than half a day, and I don't know how much is left after cutting it.

Back at the hotel, Fang Jing went to see Cheng Long after changing his clothes.

At the dinner table, the two of them only talked about household chores and nothing else, Fang Jing took Cheng Long to the film and television city for a stroll.

"That's great!" Looking at the sky full of stars and the huge film and television city, Cheng Long was filled with emotion, "You are better than our generation."

"In the past, when we made movies, we had to pay the land fee. There were gang leaders in those sites. If you don't pay, you will cause trouble, and you will smash all the machines."

"It's not like now, you actually built a film and television city, you can shoot whatever you want, and no one cares about you."

Fang Jing laughed, "Now I'm the one who asks for the land fee."

Cheng Long smiled and said nothing, the Tuo land fee in Fang Jing's mouth and his Tuo land fee have different meanings, one is legal and the other is illegal.

"Among the younger generation, you are very good. I have heard your name many times over the years. Everyone praises you. I have always wanted to meet you. This time I finally got my wish. I hope that we will have the opportunity to work together in the future."

"Thank you, I also want to keep working with Big Brother."

The two walked side by side, and after a while, Cheng Long said, "Fang Jing, do you want to go to Hollywood to develop?"

"No!" Without even thinking about it, Fang Jing shook his head and frowned, "I heard that that side is not very friendly to us Chinese. The domestic market is enough for me, and I have no plans to develop there for the time being."

Hollywood is not only unfriendly to the Chinese, some even discriminate against them. The domestic top-tier artists can’t play good roles there. They are all villains and humiliating roles.

It’s not that some movie kings and actresses have never been there before, but they all came back not long ago, like Brother Chen Kai and Lao Mouzi, they also went to Hollywood to develop, and they all chose to come back in the end.

Over there, it is not suitable for domestic actors.

"Besides, why should I go to Hollywood? Wouldn't it be better to let them come and eat with us?" Fang Jing chuckled and said, "Our domestic box office is more than 600 billion a year, and it's increasing every year. It won't exceed [-] billion in the future." impossible."

"Which country's market can be as big as ours? It's completely unnecessary to go to a foreign country for development."

Over the years, the country has developed better and better, and the level of public consumption has also improved. More and more people spend money to go to the cinema to watch movies.

Foreigners are rushing to come to China to develop, and Fang Jing went to Hollywood to start from scratch because of his brain.

"Ambition!" Cheng Long gave a thumbs up and said, "You are right. The domestic market is huge, but there are limitations. Diving can't raise a big dragon. Once a very popular top artist comes out, he will occupy a large market. , other second- and third-tier artists have nothing to eat."

"Take you now, as long as it appears in a movie, it is a box office guarantee. After the movie is released, the movie will occupy a large seat rate and squeeze out many movies."

"Your company's artists will also play an important role in your movie, and other actors can't get in. If things go on like this, the market will become smaller and smaller."

"For a long time, when the top domestic stars have developed to the top, they will go abroad to develop and go international. On the one hand, they want to break through themselves, and on the other hand, they can give other domestic artists a breather."

Cheng Long paused, and continued to spread the word to Fang Jing, "Hollywood movies can be released in more than 130 countries, and the box office harvests the world. Our domestic movies are released in two or three small neighboring countries at most. The gap is too big."

"Wolf Warrior 2, Detective Chinatown, and Operation Red Sea, which you invested in, have a total box office of tens of billions, but you can't go abroad at all. Why?"

"One is cultural differences, and the other is because you are not popular abroad, and people don't know you. The film is a good film, and it is a pity that you can't go out because you are not popular."

Fang Jing was silent, walking aimlessly, and said in a deep voice, "So?"

Putting his hands in his pockets, Cheng Long said: "Whether it's for the development of the industry or for the support of the back, we have been recommending domestic actors to Hollywood these years. Earlier, Li Lianjie and I loved doing this the most."

"But most people couldn't get out, and it didn't take long for them to run back in despair. I think if you go to Hollywood, you must have a future."

Fang Jing smiled, "Why? Compared with those seniors, I can't even rank up."

Those who can be recommended by Cheng Long and the others to go to Hollywood are all top domestic celebrities, the kind who are soft on the actor and actress, and even they are not good enough. Fang Jing doesn't think he is better than them.
